each day. Yesterday Charley Graves, a
prominent member of the midnight raid
ers, related the story of the raids he had
attended. giving the names of men who
had accompanied him. He fixed the mur-
der of George Edens on John Matthews.
On the first assault on Edens' house George
was shot down, but not killed. After ran
sacking the house the masked men returned
and Georges mother was holding Georges
head. While he, lay on the floor man
appeared at the door and took deliberate
aim at the wounded man and put a ball
through his head Graves says he met
John Matthews coming from the house
and heard him say that he was mad be-
cause he had been wounded in the back
of the head, and returned to the house
and finished the work. George, Edens.
Parsons, Simons and Will Newton want

most horrible and bloody affair in the little

was in the suburbs, entered his bed room,
and nearly butchered him with knives, in
hicting twenty wounds upon his body. The

The Budgent Causes a Surprise Debate
on the Land Bill.

on tne Lana BILL.
LONDON, April 2lst.-The budget was
complete surprise 10 the House of COM
mons. Many of its roposals-notably
those relating to the national debt charges
will be vigorously opposed. It is main
tanned that Goschen has resorted to un-
sound measures of finance in order to pre-
sent budget that may save the Conserva-
tives at the next general election.
The Conservatives are much irritated at
Lord Randolph ChurchilPs attitude.
THE LAND BILL DEBATE
LONDON, April 21st-In the House of
Lords to-day Earl Cadogan moved the Sec
ond reading of the land bill
Denman moved the rejection of the bill,
which, he said, was likely to bury both
landlord and tenant in litigation.
Earl Spencer said he hoped that Lord
Denman would not press division on-bis
motion. The land question must be set
tied before Ireland would become peaceful,
and interference with rents was an una
/, voidable action. The Courts justified in
| terference on behalf of tenants to low er
l judicial rents, which were too high in view
| of falling prices. He condemned the rates
OF remissions, which he said would lead to
| disputes and impose an additional burden
| upon districts now almost bankrupt. He
also condemned the powers given to the
County Courts in cases of bankruptcy. The
| claims bill would utterly demoralize the
| Irish people.
Lord Ashbourne said the bill, if passed,
| would prove great check to evictions.

Santa Rosa the Scene of Two More Iu-

SANTA Rosa, April 21st-A large barn

tons of hay, was burned to the ground last
night. The hay, which was the property
of Daggett & Goodfellow, was valued al
5000. There was no insurance. 1t is not

or what insurance he has on the barn, he
being away. How the fire originated is
not known, and il is difficult to see how il
could have been set on fire accidentally
unless by tramps sleeping there.
While the fire was still raging in the hay
barn and the entire fire department was en-
gagged, dastardly attempt was made to
burn the new Hahmann building on
Fourth street, next to the Atheneum. Two
gentlemen were standing in front of the
building, when their attention was called

What it Did for an Old LADY.

CosHocroN STATION N.Y.) Dec. %, 1884.
GENTS: A number of people have been
using your Bitters here, and with marked
effect. In fact, one case, lady of over 20
years, had been sick for years, and for the
past ten years ! have known her she has
not been able to be around half the time.
About six months ago she got so feeble she
was helpless. Her old remedies or physi-
clans, being of no avail, l sent to Deposit,
forty-five miles, and got bottle of Hop
Bitters. 1t had such very beneficial ef-
feet on her that one bottle improved her so
she was able to dress herself and walk
about the house. When she had taken the
second bottle she was able to take care of
her own room and walk out to her neigh
bor's and has improved all the time since.
My wife and children have also derived
great benefit from their use

rocity long remained untamed. At last
it was observed that he grew rather more
calm and docile, without apparent cause
for the change, till one day, when he was
working with his comrades, large rat
suddenly leaped from the breast of his
coat and ran across the yard. Naturally
the cry was raised to kill the rat, and the
men we're prepared to throw stones at it
when the convict, hitherto ferocious, with
a sudden outburst of feeling implored
them to desist and allow him to recover
his favorite. The prison officials for
once were guided by happy compassion,
and suffered him to call back his rat
which came to his voice and nestled back
in his dress. The convicts gratitude was
as strong as bis rebellious disposition had
hitherto proved, and from that day he
proved submissive and orderly. After
some years he became the trusted assis-
tant Of the iailers, and finally was killed
in defending them against a mutiny of
other convicts. The love of that humble
creature, finding a place in his rough
heart had changed his whole character.
Who shall limit the miracles to be
wrought by affection, when the love of q
rat could transform man?

A MILLION DOLLAR DIAMOND.

A MILLION DOLLAR DIAMOND.
A model of the Victoria, the Great
White diamond, or the Imperial, has
been sent to this city lately, and Mr.. g.
Kunz gives in Science the following:
concerning it's early history very little
is known; in fact, where the stone was
found is only a matter OF conjecture-a
remarkable circumstance when we con-
slider that it is the largest brilliant in the
world" An explanation by letter to
the London Times, was given as follows:
"That this stone was not found in Eng
lish domains at all, but in the neighbour
ing Orange Free State; that it was found
by boor on his farm, who, knowing it
was diamond, but fearing being turned
off from his farm by a mob, kept the Sc
cret whole year, until Mr.. Allenberg
of Port Elizabeth saw it, and forwarded
it to London.
1t is, however, believed that it was
found by some one in one of the Kimber-
ley mines, South Africa. The first init
nation that any of the mining companies
had of it's existence WAS when they heard
of it's safe arrival in London. 1t is gen.
orally supposed that in the month Of
June or July, 1884, stone had been
found by one of the surveillance officers
of the Central Mining Company in the
Kimberley mines. 1t being his duty to
search others, he had the privilege of not
being searched himself, and so the stone
was passed through the searching house,
and he was afterward supposed to have
found means of communicating with
illicit diamond buyers.
Before cutting, it was estimated that
the crystal would furnish either of the
following gems. If cut as a bIisllette,
300 carats; as drop, 230 to 240 cRrats;
as Iozenge, $50 carats; and as a msthe-
mstically perfect brilliant, $50 csrats. II
cut in the latter form it would have fur
nished cleavages that would cut into one
40 carat stone or 20 carat stone, and
40 earats OF small stones. 1t was finally
decided to cut it into the largest possible
brilliant, still preserving a good shape,
and Amsterdam was selected as the
place where the gem could be cut. 1t
was accordingly sent to the polishing
mills of Jacques Metz, who erected spe-
cial workshops for the purpose.
